John Doe Injunction–Except District Court Order to Destroy Evidence–Back on for Now in Wisconsin

This order too may now be brought back to the 7th Circuit, where I believe it will have a fair chance of being stayed on appeal. It is highly unusual for a federal court to issue an order completely shutting down a state [corrected] investigation.

Regardless of the underlying merits, this is quite an intrusion into state court processes and it may be an appropriate case for abstention.
